National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is updating the NGA Privacy Act Program regarding NGA Threat Mitigation Records. Additionally, NGA initiated a rulemaking to exempt this system of records from a number of provisions of the Privacy Act, because this system may contain records or information recompiled from or created from information contained in other systems of records, which are exempt from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. For these records or information only, NGA will also claim the original exemptions for these records or information from the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, as necessary and appropriate to protect such information. Such exempt records or information may be law enforcement or national security investigation records, law enforcement activity and encounter records.
